Thread regarding Dell Inc. layoffs

I find it ironic that whenever a top brass leaves Dell it’s always “to spend more time with family” to try and cover up that they su-ked or leaving for a better company

@c5 you are not part of the "working class" if you are in an office. Please stop.

Remember folks-if you’re not uncomfortable you’re not going fast enough-Dave sxhmuck says so

It's a combination of many things. Corporate greed and nepotism are for sure two of the main issues. Lay off experienced and (thus more expensive) employees and keep your buddies around to protect your own a-s. This goes all the way up to the top.

The other thing, which has accelerated it all, is that Dell is banking on being able to close the gap between junior and senior employees by using AI, i.e. they think they can keep people with less experience and they will be as productive if they just use AI.

Good luck with that :D

@aq dell is doing massive move of staff into India for long time, go to ODW and check your product locations I bet most will be in India already.

This is whole thing, they fire and hire all the time. quality of product is in downward spiral as a result, but stock only care "how many more AI servers were sold and how many were fired"

@c5 LOL, in Texas? Or the US? It's no longer We the citizens, it's We the corporations written in the constitution

Why doesn’t somebody actually do something??? Nothing but all big talk on here. Go take action.. create a group and go protest.. stand for what is right… all Dell will do is fire you, but either way they will fire you!!! Who’s taking the bull by the horns ??? Let your voices be heard…. Not the tell Dell bullsh-t either… actively protest and advocate for the working class people!!

Very sad that a lot of very talented lower level people got WFR and they are cheap too

It's the same good ol boy system it's always been. Keep the talented out because the mediocre need the high paying jobs too and there are more mediocre then talented. Especially these days.

Michael Dell is able to sleep at night because he throws more $$ at charity than he does his own Dell employees. It’s all a PR stunt to jack up Dell Stock so Execs can cash out!!!!

I believe that the love of money and power has truly made some evil men at the top. They couldnt care less about how many lives they ruin and they all have more money than they know what to do with. If there is a he-l after life on earth, these clowns will be on the express lane with an eternity of regret wishing they were different in this life. That at least gives me some comfort.

@a6 BINGO!!

Cause dell thinks it can hire itself out of being a low-tiered company.
MD is about as relevant as AOL.

A couple of reasons. The more senior and experienced employees are more expensive and more difficult to fool. Also, they do have a tendency to speak up when upper management forces new BS on the emplyees. I mean there is so many nonsensical KPI's I have to fulfill that it hardly leaves time to do my job properly. And it seems that making those KPI's is more important than reaching your targets.

More experienced employees are fed up and demotivated by all this, so many organisations need a constant inflow of junior hires who are naively thinking they hit the jackpot by joining Dell

I'll take a shot at this.

I think there is such a communication gap between those being laid off...and the upper management.

Middle management is the only voice upper management hears.

So MM are protected and UM just cuts whoever they want. Targeting older/established workers bees cause they have a higher cost to employ than an HB1 or a desperate rookie who shares an apartment with 4 others.

Just my thoughts
